What am I doing wrong when the crust of the bread is really hard and tough? The inside is soft but it's really hard to cut. Anybody know why? Could it be the recipe itself or is it me? Thanks..

    Can you turn down the crust setting? Like mine has a setting for dark, medium and light crust. If I do my honey whole wheat on the preset medium crust setting for wheat bread, it is too hard for us. Light comes out perfect. It also helps me to put 'lighter' flour in with the heavier ones, like mixing a cup of bread flour with 2 cups wheat. Hope that helps..

    I do put it on the light setting but I don't put bread flour in it, I'll try that thanks. That particular recipe didn't call for it. I did try to buy it for another recipe but couldn't find it.
